[@lynnpike8642]

Yet another fabulous vlog guys, you certainly have a talent for photography! I love how you put it altogether and I always enjoy the music you choose too..... Thank you, 😁

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Oh thanks ever so much that’s really kind of you to say so. Best wishes Helen and Martin

[@motorroamingaround]

Loving the look of Porto & Gaia. Loved the Timelapse & Drone footage at the start. That junction leading onto the bridge looked like madness. Looking forward to the next video. Keep safe. Irvine & Karen.

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Thanks guys , it was a little crazy even for Portugal 😂 . Thanks for watching H and M

[@paulreyland9671]

What an amazing video & stunning photos 👍. Have been to Porto a few times but never in the motor home, now it’s on the list. Thanks for sharing P & R

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Thanks very much for watching , Part 2 has gone live of this video in case it's of interest to you. Best wishes Helen and Martin

[@redsgotravels]

Catching up with your trip. Just want to say congratulations on your numbers and that you really do deserve way more. The intro to this vlog is spectacular! Your filming and editing skills are fantastic

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Good morning thanks for your kind comments. Yea numbers 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️ , we probably should promote the videos more really but the photography and the people we meet are main reasons why we do it. We aren’t very good KZbinrs 😂. We’re having a month off travel at the moment , there’s a couple more videos to come from the trip though . The road running season is in full swing so we’ll be in East Anglia for the summer at various places , but that said as hard as the competition is , it’s not as hard as the task we are currently engaged with namely child minding two boys , 7 and 4 , our Grandkids who are currently emptying our fridge 4 hourly 😂. We might need a holiday soon. Thanks for getting in touch , happy travels and best wishes Helen and Martin

[@Degsie52]

Wow, great photography you two. Thank you for the experiance. DD&J

Thanks very much for watching and your kind words . Best wishes Helen and Martin

[@sida7855]

Love your vids. No clickbait just good storyline. 👍

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Thanks very much , we purposely don't go down that route, we just enjoy telling the story of the places we've been to and taking photos. Thanks very much for watching Helen and Martin

[@HelenScothern]

What a city and an amazing campsite.😊

[@gnarlybadger690]

[@VantasticAdventures]

Lovely, didn't realise Porto was so pretty and such an amazing campsite 😍 thank you, this video convinced us we need to take our bikes 🚲😊

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Hi guys , Porto is lovely and Part 2 shows you the city itself it's steeped in history and very interesting, The Uber System works really well there to , and the site is brilliant not cheap but it's very well run. Hope you're both well Helen and Martin

[@VantasticAdventures]

@@helenandmartinsTreks thank you 🥰

[@DesmondsDonders]

Enjoying Porto and the memories it brings of a diversion into the airport to the North. Did not get to see the place too busy fixing the jet. But I can say I have been there.

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Ha we feel your situation , the times we were deployed up and down the country , we had a saying Hurry up and Stand By 😂. We loved Porto , very busy with tourism, we pick that up in the next video. Thanks very much for watching, I’d almost forgotten the video went out , we been road racing today against people much younger and we held our own , but we came home and fell asleep on the sofa like the old codgers we are. 😂 Best wishes H and M

[@DesmondsDonders]

@@helenandmartinsTreks Feeling proud of myself walked about 2 miles yesterday, Lower leg and back are not pleased today but I managed it. once they stop complaining I will be off again LOL. Oh I remember the old adage, hurry up and wait.

[@Meanderingste]

Amazing place never expected to see some.of what it has to offer cant wait to see the next one. Take care both. Steve

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Thanks Steve , sorry to read the vans still misbehaving hoping it's sorted soon. Best wishes Helen and Martin

[@Meanderingste]

@@helenandmartinsTreks same here need to get away in it but not looking good.

[@philipellis7039]

I went to Porto about 35 years ago, all I remember is that I could get very drunk very cheaply! On a more positive note I have a big new TV at home and this video looks stunning on it.

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

We suspect prices might have increased 😂, but it didn’t stand out as an overly expensive city by comparison. Glad you enjoyed the video and enjoy your new TV. Thanks for watching , best wishes Helen and Martin

[@debdavet-cornwallandbeyond1649]

Another lovely video guys. Helping us to add more places to that ever growing campervan roadtrip bucket list.

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Hi guys , it’s definitely worth a visit , has a bit of everything. Thanks for watching , best wishes Helen and Martin

[@christineomara4787]

Can not wait for next vlog in Porto, we didn't get there last year but will be going this year. 😊

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

It’s a great City Christine , I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin

[@kampenheimer]

Hey guys. Where growing ethically is concerned, I really appreciate the absence of click bait, sensationalist titles and fake drama unlike some others channels I could name. I’m trying to take the same approach. Hopefully you’ll soon get to 10k subs. Regards…Paul

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Cheers Paul thank you, it’s the only way we would do this. Thanks for watching and for your kind comments Helen and Martin

[@NBNatureTrailvan]

What a cool city. Do love Portugal and Porto the city. That Chapel on the rocks is incredible! Yikes that was a lot of motorbikes! That roundabout! 😳😳😳 Another wonderful vlog guys and congrats on 7.5k. Just a very cool channel

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Thanks guys much appreciated, it’s a long haul as you know , but we get to chat to people like yourselves which makes it worth the effort. Best wishes Helen and Martin

[@dhalcro]

Great video and good to see a channel without the crazy click bait titles

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Thanks very much , we really appreciate you watching . Best Wishes Helen and Martin

[@HereWeTow]

Beautiful Timelapse at the start, you should enter this in the CWG awards.😊

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

That’s very kind ❤️ of you thanks very much. H and M

[@robertthomas2415]

Ista’s Garden is easily the B E S T campsite in Portugal (or elsewhere for that matter). Pedro and Claudia are the best hosts. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. Gaia and Porto are great places.

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

We couldn't agree more , we loved it. Thanks for watching Helen and Martin

[@michelleclarke6949]

We are not city people as a rule ,but we enjoyed this.

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Thank you we like a mixture , it's the street photography that attracts us , but after a few days of the city we do like to retreat to the countryside. Thanks for watching best wishes Helen and Martin

[@paulblackburn8196]

Hi, how do you take your dog around with you? On the bikes and the cable car? We have a dog ourselves and struggle with solutions 😢

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Yes it's a challenge isn't it , not so much in Northern Europe where dogs are permitted on public transport but on Iberia definitely. We try to park close to where we want to be , we walk miles and miles and where possible look for Pet Ubers. Poppy doesn't like riding on the bike however , she wants to run everywhere so the bike is only short term option. If we've been out running , she comes with us and if she's tired and we are on a secure site she will sleep in the van , assuming it's cool of course, while we nip out on the bikes for a hour . We have cameras in the van so we can monitor her. We have to be very comfortable in the surroundings where we are for that option though, as we were at Istas Gardens. Thanks for watching . Helen and Martin

[@craigfrood7710]

Hi Guys, I can find part 2. Could you send me the link please. Tks

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

With pleasure thanks for watching - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gl6bdnabZ554nqs . Best wishes Helen and Martin

[@paulblackburn8196]

Hi Guys, we are waiting for your Porto part 2 vlog because we are I Peniche now and going to Porto tomorrow 😊 The campsite you mentioned “Isus garden”, did you mean Istas garden? I am looking at this but they say minimum 3 nights stay, was that the case for you also? We only have two nights spare before we go to Galicia 😊

[@helenandmartinsTreks]

Hi Paul , yes Istas Gardens . We did stay more than three nights so it wasn't an issue , hope you enjoyed Peniche. Safe travels Helen and Martin
